The basics

00:01

What is an employee onboarding video?

An employee onboarding video is a short animated or live-action video designed to welcome new hires and help them quickly understand your company – how it works, what it stands for, and what’s expected of them.

Typically between 60 seconds and a few minutes long, onboarding videos can cover everything from company culture and values to role-specific processes, tools, and compliance requirements.

They give new starters the information they need without overwhelming them.

They’re most commonly used in HR platforms, learning management systems, internal intranets, and welcome email sequences – anywhere a new employee is taking their first steps with your organisation.

Why video

00:02

Why use video for employee onboarding?

Traditional onboarding relies heavily on documents, presentations, and one-to-one time from managers and HR teams. That approach is expensive, inconsistent, and hard to scale. Video changes that.

Consistent every time

Every new hire gets the same clear, high-quality introduction to your company – regardless of when they join, where they’re based, or who’s managing them. There’s no variation in what’s communicated, and no important details accidentally skipped.

Faster time to productivity

The quicker a new hire understands your culture, tools, and expectations, the sooner they can contribute. A well-made onboarding video compresses that learning curve significantly – getting new employees settled and productive faster.

Watch it on their terms

Video lets new employees learn at their own pace. They can pause, rewind, and revisit content as many times as they need – which means better retention and fewer repeat questions for your HR team.

Better retention from the start

Companies with a structured onboarding process see significantly higher employee retention. Video is one of the most effective ways to make new starters feel valued, prepared, and genuinely welcomed into your team.

Process

00:05

How we create your employee onboarding video

Every employee onboarding video follows a clear four-stage process – with a dedicated review and approval round at every step, so HR and management teams can sign off before we move on.

  1. Stage 01

    Script

    Our writers create a custom script built around your company, culture, and the key messages your new hires need to hear. We typically run through multiple rounds of revisions at script stage – getting the words right before a single visual is designed. What a new employee hears on day one sets the tone for everything that follows.

  2. Stage 02

    Storyboard

    We build custom illustrations from scratch – no templates, no recycled assets. Every character, scene, and visual element is designed to match your brand. You review and approve a detailed storyboard before animation begins, so the final video looks exactly as expected.

  3. Stage 03

    Sound

    We have a roster of professional voiceover artists across dozens of accents, languages, and styles. Choose a voice that fits your company culture – warm and welcoming, clear and informative, or something in between. Music and sound design are added to complete the experience.

  4. Stage 04

    Animation

    We bring everything together into a polished finished video. You review the final animation and we make unlimited revisions until you’re completely happy – then deliver the final files in every format your HR platform, LMS, or intranet requires.

Hotel Engine

Hotel Engine

Hotel Engine required a series of demo videos to help their corporate clients to understand how their software worked, and allow users to onboard by watching the videos. Wyzowl worked with them to fully understand the main features, and plan the series to make it user friendly. By capturing the process and adding a clear voiceover, the videos make navigating and using the platform a breeze.

Watch the video

We needed 10 demo videos done quickly.

Wyzowl really streamlined the process for us, saving us a lot of time and delivering a great series in a timely manner.

I highly recommend them for your product demo videos.

I've been working with Wyzowl for years to create explainer videos and ads. Their team is always professional, prompt, accommodating, and organized.

Highly recommend working with them.

Becca NevarezGoogle review · 5 stars

Wyzowl has been absolutely wonderful. We used them for one explainer video so far and not only were they fast, but the quality of the work was exceptional. They took our requests and changes professionally and delivered a product our entire team was in love with. We enjoyed working with them so much, we are working on another project with them right now. Highly recommend them for all your animation needs, you won't find better cost, better customer service, or better quality anywhere else.

Amazing work! Wyzowl's creativity is outstanding—they exceeded my wildest expectations for our videos. What I appreciated most was their responsiveness...every question was answered promptly by the right team member. This is our second project with Wyzowl, and I can't wait to collaborate again.

Ellen DecareauGoogle review · 5 stars

Wyzowl has been really easy to work with for animated videos. They have been able to consolidate comprehensive information into short scripts and get the point across in animation. My team has stayed consistent over time and are a joy to work with. They also have a great up-front pricing model that allows me to stay on budget.

Bess LauerGoogle review · 5 stars

Working with Wyzowl to create a brand awareness video was great for our team. I had previously worked with Wyzowl, so when the need came up for an explainer animation, I knew just who to have my colleague connect with. The process was easy and Wyzowl delivered creative, captivating, video content that we will be using as Kanopi by Armstrong's featured video on our YouTube and website’s About page. We look forward to sharing the video on our social channels and plan to clip 5-7 sec teasers to drive traffic to our YouTube, shopping collections, and other converting channels. Overall, a smooth process from scripting to finalizing, we are looking forward to working with Wyzowl in the future.

Jaclyn LerashGoogle review · 5 stars

I recently worked with Team Wyzowl, led by Chris, on a video project for one of our customers, and I can't say enough good things about the experience. From our very first call, they totally got what we were looking for. They understood our needs right away, which saved us so much time. :) The turnaround was impressive—they had the first draft ready within a week, and it looked amazing! Our client had quite a few tweaks and minor changes, but Chris and his team were super patient and responsive throughout the entire process. They handled everything with such professionalism and attention to detail. If you're looking for an agency that really gets your vision, delivers on time, and produces top-notch quality, I highly recommend Team Wyzowl. They made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. Thanks again, Chris and team, for your fantastic work!

Madhuri GuramGoogle review · 5 stars

Working with Wyzowl was great – we were impressed at all stages of our project and worked with professionals from the initial brainstorming phase to identify the most suitable narration for us, to story board creation, illustration, voice recording, animation, up until the final product delivery. Our animated video has already reached over 30k views on social media after a couple of months and we’re already starting to see the positive effects.

Frequently asked questions

Got a question about employee onboarding video production? We’ve answered the most common ones below – but if you can’t find what you’re looking for, get in touch and we’ll be happy to help.

What is an employee onboarding video?

An employee onboarding video is a short animated or live-action video that introduces new hires to your company, culture, processes, and expectations. It can cover anything from company values and team structure to role-specific tools, compliance requirements, and first-day logistics – giving new starters a consistent, engaging introduction before or during their first week.

How much does an employee onboarding video cost?

Employee onboarding video pricing at Wyzowl starts from £2,000 ($2,700) for a fully animated video, with a fixed price quoted upfront before production begins.

The exact cost depends on factors like video length, animation style, and complexity.

Every project includes scriptwriting, custom illustration, professional voiceover, animation, music, sound design, and unlimited revisions.

For businesses that need ongoing video content, we also offer subscription packages at a fixed monthly fee.

How long should an employee onboarding video be?

Most employee onboarding videos run between 60 seconds and 3 minutes, depending on the content being covered.

A welcome and culture video might be 90 seconds; a more detailed walkthrough of tools, processes, or compliance topics could run longer.

The key is covering what new hires actually need – without overwhelming them. We’ll advise on the ideal length based on your brief.

What topics can an employee onboarding video cover?

Employee onboarding videos can cover almost any aspect of the new hire experience – from company culture, values, and mission, to role-specific processes, software tools, health and safety requirements, HR policies, and compliance training.

Some companies produce a single overview video; others create a series of shorter videos for different topics or departments. We’ll help you figure out the right approach for your needs.

Can I get a series of onboarding videos rather than just one?

Absolutely. Many clients commission a suite of onboarding videos covering different topics – a culture overview, a tools and systems walkthrough, a compliance module, and role-specific content for different teams.

We handle series productions regularly, and our fixed pricing model works just as well for multiple videos.

Can the videos be used in our LMS or HR platform?

Yes. We deliver final video files in every format you need – including formats compatible with common learning management systems (LMS), HR platforms, intranets, and onboarding portals. If you have specific technical requirements, just let us know and we’ll make sure the delivery matches.

Do you produce onboarding videos in multiple languages?

Yes. We have a professional voiceover roster that spans dozens of languages and accents. If you need onboarding videos for a global workforce, we can produce multilingual versions from the same script and animation – ensuring every new hire gets a consistent experience in their own language.

What's the turnaround time for an employee onboarding video?

Turnaround time depends on video length and complexity, but most animated onboarding videos are completed within four to six weeks from brief to final delivery. We’ll give you a clear timeline before production begins, and you’ll know exactly where your project stands at every stage.

Can you match our company's brand and visual style?

Yes – every video we produce is created from scratch to match your brand. We’ll design custom characters, scenes, and illustrations that reflect your visual identity, and we’ll work with any brand guidelines you provide. Nothing is templated or recycled from previous projects.
